    1. YES, it really is comfy! I somehow failed to mention this! :)
    2. I used a new audio recording setup for this video...unfortunately, a setting was incorrect. This means the audio is only on 1 side/earphone...SORRY! :)

    Not going to lie, something about the way you reference Bernedette in this video made it seem like you're the younger sister stealing your older sister's notes to prove you can sew just as well as she can. It's adorable and makes this seem even more wholesome.

    No snow for the southeast corner of the state. I am glad you got it and not me. I love your dress. Horsehair is usually clipped and overlapped. This type interfacing was still in use for tailoring when I was young and learning to sew. I used iron on interfacing the last time I wanted that kind of structure. That worked quite well for a more modern jacket. I'm glad you got pictures in the snow. You are lucky it stayed around for you.

      Yes, it would be stunning as a dramatic over coat. 🤔Was thinking along those same lines as she was putting the garment together. Gives you the chance to swap out your primary undergarments (whether you replace w/a gown, catsuit, etc.).
      🛒 Made the mistake of buying two of those blouses with faux shell sewed into the inner seams. Gave the impression you were wearing 2 garments. Although
      w/o the added layers. Rather than following my figure, it looked boxy, matronly, & moved awkwardly. 😆Hated it.
      🖤Absolutely adored the soft Chinoiserie🏮fabric with Mandarin collar so much that I bought it in red and olive green. Each had a mix of black & white ginger jars and ancient floral medallions printed on it. It also had beautiful buttons.
      ✂️My first & only refashion project thus far was to clip out those solid black shell pieces with enough to make a tiny hem. Hand sewed the edges. Turned out kinda nice.😉Plus, it was a surprisingly easy process. Glad I didn't donate it in the end.
      Now, I wear the blouses all the time over a black body-con silky tank & black cropped pants or pencil skirt😍.

    Love the lapel, how it accentuates the lines. I think a „Gehrock“ (don‘t know the English word, something like a longer blazer) would look beautiful with that lapel situation and a fitted back, maybe some little folds from the waist down.

    With your hair the way it was done in the half finished video shoot you reminded me a lot of Georgiana Darcy in the ‘95 BBC version of pride and prejudice. Loved this whole video!!

    I also ventured out into the cold snow to get video of my latest costume! It had a cloak but it was so thin it really didn’t help at all since it was 0 out!

    MY FAVORITE video of yours! The outfit was just beautiful and your skill at sewing was awe inspiring. The best part is that you brought the past to life by running and playing in ye old 1888’s cosy clothes. One request: is there any way to find lighting that allows the colors to show to their best? In one shot I was finally able to see the beauty of the red trim on the brown. So gorgeous!

      Aw, thank you! Unfortunately, it was really hard to get the velvet to show up well...it's annoying, but I think it's just thanks to how the velvet is!

    • @DawnOldham
      @DawnOldham 3 года назад

      @@BellaMaesDesigns I remember Bernadette explaining how the nap of velvet can absorb light or reflect light, depending on which way it is lying. So I know it’s a tricky fabric to photograph. But there were moments when the color differences of the dress were really apparent. Just not sure what to do about having that happen on purpose lol. But really, I could totally picture you over a hundred years ago, running and playing in your cosy dress! I loved the video. And you made it look like you made it in a weekend lol!

    The fold over facing could be called a revers. Because it folds outward. Horsehair anything can be itchy. Best to fabric line over it.

    I love, love, love this comfy Tea Gown. When I saw you playing out in the snow, it made me happy knowing there were still young people who still knew how to enjoy the simple things in life. I could see the joy and happiness in your face in not only what you accomplished, in making this gown, but in the world around you. I have subscribed and cannot wait to see what else you design. Many blessings for the coming New Year!

      💖It did turn out quite lovely. She's so unbelievably talented!
      From Georgian to Victorian times, the styles were so ultra feminine, flattering, and romantic.❄Plus, these gowns were remarkably cosy in the dead of🌨winter🌬, esp. for those manor homes without central heat🌡too. Brrr!
      💕Love the elegance of that long sweeping train too. Seems fine for interior floors kept polished by a legion of maids or having a footman helping you over puddles. Not so sure that length is practical today.
      Even our ladies that ventured out to the 🔫Wild West frontier shortened their hemlines a bit to avoid dragging their skirts around in muck. Proving sometimes you have to go your own way.
      😉Otherwise, the silhouette & style is perfection! Think a clever person could tweak this vintage pattern to work today. Maybe create a separate over-coat to wear on top of a tea-length dress.
